[funkymonkey]

Just a quick job, no filters used cept standard photoshop ones (thanks to a corrupted plugins directory )

[Mr. Oizo]

god damn shan.. thats some good stuf..

but you screwed up the GTR logo..

[funkymonkey]

lol i realised, coz I was workin on the pic in high res, when i shrunk it down to convert to jpg the effect got messed up in the cubic resampling.

[sammus]

ahh i see you're working on that now, funky... the specs in the top right looks sweet... if prank chops the actual car up it'll be hard to pick between them as they'd be dif types of chops.

[Mr. Oizo]

shan.. did you use grunge brushes for the bkgrd or make ur own? and how'd you do the dots?

[funkymonkey]

actually when I take the car layer off and just have it on background only it looks even better... well to me anyways...

[Mr. Oizo]

are you sure you got the specs right.. coz the 1998 model had orange turn indicators, and that limited ed. colour was with the M-Spec or V-Spec II wasnt it?

[funkymonkey]

what's a grunge brush? I only use um the normal round brushes...

the dots are actual noise dots, with gausiian blur, then you find edges and you do a 90 degree rotate etc, overlay and apply a colour burn. Gives you a very matrix evvect if you start out with green noise on black background. in this case I used orange noise then some black noise again done the same way with an offset.

[funkymonkey]

meh i did a google search for "r34 gtr specs" n copied n pasted, din think the specs mattered, but then again this is an enthusiast forums, its the details that matter. I'll fix it on the next remix.

[funkymonkey]

the flames were made using a cloud render, then twirl distort, then wave distortion, then duplicate, overlay, offset, motion blur, repeat a couple of times, then adjust layers with either overlay or colour burn and then add a top layer of orange colourisation. then select all visible, then increase brightness contrast to make only the highlights of the flame appear, then colourise that in red and then overlay.

[Mr. Oizo]

grunge brushes are just dodgy stuff that ppl use to fill in space.. like the green stuff in the background here

about the specs.. like to be anally retentive

[funkymonkey]

but if you used a brush it'd form a pattern wouldn't it? and you'd be able to notice it if you used the same brush in more than one pic... hmm i'm fallin behind da times eh? I tend to do everything manually... the long way lol

[funkymonkey]

oh and the car is actually a VSpec 2 Nur

[Guest RedLineGTR]

funky i would of expected more from you..

[funkymonkey]

its a battle, you don't go unleasing everything, it leaves u'r opponent very little to work with.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Unleash the fury...or at least email me some nice work
